My name is Samantha, and I'm a Glenbrook North graduate. I now attend a small, private liberal arts college called Hendrix College, and will graduate this May with a degree in sociology. I played soccer and basketball in high school, in addition to playing soccer in college. I was the captain of both my high school and college soccer teams. I'm was also on the club frisbee team in college. I play the guitar, ukelele, and piano, along with writing music. I enjoy outdoor activities, especially swimming and hiking. I love coaching kids in sports; in fact, I coach soccer part time over the summer. Additionally, I am interested in pursuing a career in organic farming, and am currently doing an internship at an organic farm. This also means that I am super into healthy eating, particularly fruits and vegetables. I grew up with an older sister and a much Read more younger brother, so I am used to babysitting him and his friends. I have also spent most of my summers in college nannying, babysitting, and coaching. I am also certified in responding to emergencies, which entails CPR and AED. I have a lot of experience with food allergies and auto-immune diseases as well.
